Achillea "Tutti Frutti" has tight heads of individual tiny blooms that range from butter yellow to coral. The foliage is very frilly and fern-like and moves at the slightest breeze. That's why I chose that one.

The bright yellow is Coreopsis, and I liked the dense growth habit and multitude of flower buds.

The beds look a little sparse right now, but I planted so that everything should touch slightly when it grows to size.

I'm going back later this afternoon for some more lilies and hostas. A bargain like that is hard to pass up. My husband is going to kill me. I am concentrating on the flower beds and neglecting the vegetable planting, but I am having so much fun with the flowers and veggies almost seem like work to me right now.

They really look great. I especially like the Tutti Frutti. The leaves look like ferns, and the flowers are in clusters.

Wife doesn't know it yet, but I am going to put in a new bed for partial sun/shade plants. We discussed putting a short, low fence to partition off an area for an outdoor table and chairs from a parking area. It occurred to me that a 2ft wide bed along the fence would be a great addition. So far, on our second spring here, we have not created any new beds, just concentrated on refurbishing the old, long abandoned existing beds. I'm thinking Hostas along here, but she may have other great ideas when she hears my plan.

I will turn in my FR Garden Badge if you keep posting photos of those lovely warm weather flowers and plants... and that’s the truff. I wore a undershirt, a tee shirt, a sweat shirt and a old down jacket to spend 2 hours in the garden THIS AFTERNOON.
